Legal Disclaimer

01General Information Only — Not Legal Advice

Legal outcomes depend on the specific facts of each matter, the applicable law at the relevant time and the forum in which a matter is determined. Content on this website is necessarily general, may be simplified for accessibility, and may not reflect the most recent legislative amendments, regulations, case law or regulatory guidance. You should always obtain advice from a qualified legal practitioner on the facts of your own matter before acting.

02No Reliance

You may not rely on any content on this website as a substitute for professional advice, and Goshen Attorneys Inc. accepts no responsibility for any loss occasioned by any person acting or refraining from acting on the basis of content published on this website. Any reliance you place on such content is strictly at your own risk.

03No Attorney-Client Relationship

Reading this website, submitting an enquiry through it, or corresponding with the firm by email or telephone does not create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship arises only upon express written confirmation of engagement by the firm following conflict checks and statutory client verification. See clause 3 of our Terms of Use.

04Insights, Articles and Dated Content

Articles and insights published on this website speak as at their stated publication date. The law changes; commentary that was accurate when published may be superseded. We are under no obligation to update published content, and the presence of dated content on the website is not a representation that it remains current.

05Jurisdictional Limits

Goshen Attorneys Inc. is a South African law firm. Its attorneys are admitted in the Republic of South Africa, and commentary on foreign law — including the GDPR and other international privacy frameworks on which the firm advises by virtue of its CIPP/E qualification — is provided from the perspective of a South African practice advising on international compliance. Where formal advice on the law of another jurisdiction is required, the firm will, where appropriate, work with or refer to qualified counsel in that jurisdiction.

06No Guarantee of Outcome

Past results described or implied anywhere on this website do not guarantee, warrant or predict the outcome of any future matter. Every matter turns on its own facts.

07External Links

Links to external websites (including regulators, legislation databases and third-party services) are provided for convenience. We do not control external content and accept no responsibility for its accuracy, lawfulness or availability. A link is not an endorsement.

08Email and Electronic Communications Disclaimer

Email messages sent by or on behalf of Goshen Attorneys Inc., together with their attachments:

• are confidential, may be legally privileged, and are intended solely for the named addressee — if received in error, please notify the sender and delete the message; you may not disclose, copy or use it;
• do not, on their own, conclude contracts on behalf of the firm unless expressly stated and signed by a duly authorised signatory, and no data message shall be treated as an offer or acceptance creating binding obligations except where expressly so designated;
• are transmitted over public infrastructure — while the firm takes reasonable security precautions, it does not warrant that any message is secure, error-free or virus-free, and accepts no liability for any damage arising from electronic transmission.

09Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Goshen Attorneys Inc., its director, employees and agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential — arising out of or in connection with the use of, or reliance upon, this website or its content. Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes liability which cannot lawfully be excluded, nor does it limit the firm's professional obligations to clients under a confirmed written engagement, which are governed by the engagement letter and the rules of the profession.
